MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United said Monday that Mason Greenwood will leave the club despite a criminal investigation of possible attempted rape being closed by prosecutors six months ago. The 21-year-old England forward has not played for United since January 2022 and his future remained unclear during the club’s own investigation.“All those involved, including Mason, recognize the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United,” the club said in a statement. “It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”Greenwood said it was “the best decision for us all … to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club.”Greenwood had been implicated in controlling and coercive behavior and assault relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online.

He was pronounced dead after lifesaving efforts at the scene.Parr’s effort to rescue someone in trouble was typical of him, his mother, Becca Parr, said Monday.“From the day he was born, he was so selfless,” she said. “I know he didn’t think for a moment, ‘I could die,’ he just did what he could. He was a loving soul, kind-hearted and never put himself first.”Parr’s death remains und...

Spain’s king begins talks with party leaders in hopes of choosing one to form a government

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:48:14 GMT

MADRID (AP) — King Felipe VI began consultations with leaders of Spain’s political parties Monday to see which one has the best chance to form a government following an inconclusive national election last month.The July 23 election left no obvious coalition with a clear path to power. Parties on the left and the right received almost an equal number of seats. The king started his talks with the representatives of several smaller parties. He is expected to wrap up the sessions Tuesday, when he plans to receive acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party finished second in the election, and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whose right-of-center Popular Party won the most votes.Both Feijóo and Sánchez hope to receive the mandate to try to form a government, but it remains to be seen which of them can muster an absolute majority of 176 votes to support them in Spain’s 350-seat parliament.Sánchez’s Socialists, the center-left Sumar (Joining Forces) ...

Could the Twins move to six-man rotation? “I think that’s a possibility”

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:48:14 GMT

In the minutes after the final pitch is thrown, members of the coaching staff and the front office gather in manager Rocco Baldelli’s Target Field office to debrief and discuss the game they just watched.In that meeting on Sunday, one topic was the possibility of moving to a six-man rotation for the time being.“I think that’s a possibility. I do,” Baldelli said. “Before I walked down here to talk to (the media), it’s one of the things we were just talking about. And we’ll continue to talk about.”That’s because Dallas Keuchel had just thrown 6⅓ innings perfect innings before surrendering a double, and the man he replaced on the active roster, Joe Ryan, is nearly ready to return from a groin strain.If Keuchel had turned in a performance like the one he had last week against Philadelphia — six runs in 1⅔ innings innings pitched — perhaps the conversation would have been different. But his dominant effort against the Pirates was impossible to ignore.“He’s done everything we’ve ask...
